 RECOGNIZING THE GRADUATING CLASS OF FIREFIGHTERS IN SALEM COUNTY NEW 
                                 JERSEY

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, I recognize this year's graduating class 
of firefighters in Salem County, south Jersey.
  I was honored to attend and see this class in action at the Fire 
Academy FF1 recruit graduation earlier this month. They are not just a 
team; they are a family.
  This special class was hardened and unified in the midst of a 
nationwide coronavirus. I am so proud to be able to represent these men 
and women in Congress and to recognize them for their feat.
  They represent the resolve and the commitment that makes this great 
Nation even greater. Your Nation is proud of you. Your community is 
proud of you. We are all proud of you and the selfless work that you 
are all beginning. God bless you all. And God bless these United States 
of America.
